Elbow pain can make simple daily activities surprisingly difficult. Tasks such as lifting, gripping, typing, carrying groceries, playing sport, or even shaking hands may become uncomfortable when elbow pain develops.
At Well Spine Chiropractic, we provide evidence-informed chiropractic care for people experiencing elbow pain, tendon irritation, and associated arm or forearm discomfort. Our goal is to identify contributing factors, reduce pain, and help restore normal function.
Common Symptoms of Elbow Pain
You may benefit from an assessment if you experience:
- Pain on the outside of the elbow
- Pain on the inside of the elbow
- Pain when gripping or lifting objects
- Forearm tightness or aching
- Weakness when holding or carrying items
- Pain during sport or exercise
- Stiffness around the elbow joint
- Discomfort while typing or using a mouse
- Recurrent elbow pain affecting daily activities
Every individual presents differently, which is why a thorough assessment is important before beginning care.
What Causes Elbow Pain?
Elbow pain can arise from a variety of causes, including:
- Repetitive gripping activities
- Computer and desk work
- Racquet sports
- Golf
- Weight training
- Manual labour
- Tendon irritation
- Poor upper limb mechanics
- Overuse injuries
Often, elbow pain develops gradually due to repeated strain rather than a single injury.
Common Elbow Conditions We See
Tennis Elbow
Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylalgia) is one of the most common causes of elbow pain. It typically causes pain on the outside of the elbow and may worsen with gripping, lifting, or repetitive hand movements.
Golfer’s Elbow
Golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylalgia) affects the inside of the elbow and is often aggravated by gripping, lifting, or repetitive wrist and forearm activities.
Overuse and Tendon-Related Elbow Pain
Many elbow complaints involve irritation of the tendons and muscles surrounding the elbow due to repetitive loading or excessive strain.
Our Approach to Elbow Pain
At Well Spine Chiropractic, treatment is tailored to the individual following a comprehensive assessment.
Depending on your presentation, care may include:
- Soft tissue therapy
- Trigger point release
- Joint mobilisation techniques
- Dry needling (where appropriate)
- Stretching and mobility exercises
- Tendon loading and rehabilitation programs
- Ergonomic advice
- Activity modification recommendations
Our focus is to help reduce pain, improve function, and support long-term recovery.
Elbow Pain and the Kinetic Chain
The elbow does not function in isolation.
Shoulder mechanics, wrist function, posture, and workplace habits may all contribute to elbow pain. For this reason, our assessment considers the entire upper limb rather than focusing solely on the painful area.
Identifying and addressing contributing factors is often an important part of recovery.
